Hello, so I' ve played nearly 8k hands on NL100 and starting to get an idea of what the competition is like. Felt really lost at the beginning, see topic:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/informatio.../Need_NL100_FR_help!_(LONG_POST).html

Found out that I really needed to change some things:

- Table selection: on NL50 FTP I just sat at every possible table, and everywhere there were donks. There are some extremely nitty tables that are not profitable on PS. Right now I'm just always looking up the fishes, and hopefully they will stop sucking out on me soon enough

.

- Be as agressive PF on NL100 as on NL50. I guess the new amounts of money scared me off alot of profitable spots to reraise preflop. Especially because my good NL50 run didn' t progress to NL100, which increases the danger of playing scared poker (-EV).

- Something new for me is pot control. Still not sure whether it's best to use, I' m so used to the ' MONSTER POKER ROAR BET POT ' mentality, will be hard to turn the switch. I guess it should help me to avoid playing big pots with mediocre holdings, and avoid being in too much tough spots.

So it's time for me to perfect my game more and it's even more time for me to win some more coinflips / 60-40's and win some confidence / money --> I also find I make better laydowns when winning, so I really hope I get into that positive circulation soon!

I' m also thinking about moving back to FTP and play NL100 there for the rakeback (just a bit worried about the amount of players there). Either that or clear another $600 deposit bonus, on UB or something --> I' d like to try clearing that on 6max, as 6max seems so much more fun to play.

But, first I need to crush NL100 on PS, I hate unfinished business and I' ve just started!

Full ring is sick. So nitty looking - dunno if it's good or bad in FR but man it looks so bad :D You should probably win on showdown more. Your flop AF seems awfully big, but dunno.

I was +2.5ptbb/100 my first 60k hands at nl100 fr on stars. These last 40k hands I have completely fallen apart. I'm on the verge of quitting. I hope it goes better for you.
